In order to open any combination lock you need to know the correct combination, set each wheel of the lock so that the correct combination of numbers are visible in a line and the lock will then pop open when triggered.
The Samsonite Aeris suitcase does not come with a standard lock and key. You must use a code to open it with. The code usually comes with the suitcase when it is purchased.
The American Tourister Suitcase is made by Samsonite. It has a lock that consists of three dials, that form a combination chosen by the owner. If the owner forgets the combination, he can try to pick it open with a safety pin (one can find instructions for this on the Internet) or take it to a Samsonite Repair Center.
Use the key provided

Samsonite luggage locks are similar to cheap locks on a gas cap and can be opened with a little time and patience. The only thing you will need for this project is a drill and a 1/8 inch drill bit. Place drill bit inside lock hole and apply plenty of pressure to cut the metal. Once you have reached the core of the lock hole it will disengage the locking mechanism.
With a key.
How to reset the number??
The best way to open a combination lock is to enter the combination. If this isn't possible, a hacksaw or bolt cutter may do the trick.
The old fashioned way, a hammer and nail. Put the nail between the lock and the suitcase and hammer it in until it breaks the lock off.
If you have forgotten the code to your suitcase's combination lock, you can either use a hammer and screwdriver to disengage the latch, or if you have an immense amount of patience, you can set the dials to 0-0-0 and increment them, one digit at a time, until the lock opens. If you are quick and agile, you may be able to open the lock in ten to twenty minutes, however, if it is a four or five digit lock, it might take you several days to a week.
maximum of 1000 combinations (10X10X10). Work with one lock and set it to read 000 . Count upward to 1000 by "ones". As you turn combination dial up with one hand, test if lock opens with other hand. Takes about 5 minutes and hopefully both locks are same combination.
Haven't got the code I assume. Start at code 000 and work your way up. Should be done within 40 minutes, tops.
